These MMP23 ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring the levels of MMP23 in biological samples. MMP23 is an alias of the human MMP23B gene, which encodes the protein, matrix metallopeptidase 23B. Notably, MMP23 is known to play a role in extracellular matrix organization and proteolysis, among other functions. The MMP23B protein is 390 amino acid residues in length and 43.9 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 3 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the ER of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be highly expressed in the ovary, testis and prostate. This protein is known to be N-glycosylated and cleaved. Other names for this target antigen include MIFR, MIFR-1, and MMP22.
The detection range for different MMP23 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 62.5 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
